Saxon Carabinier Enlisted Pickelhaube

Saxon Carabinier Enlisted Mans MARKED Tombak helmet Model 1900. Recently found at a Militaria Show from a WWII Era Dealer who literally pulled this out of a garage. Untouched and unpolished or restored. Enlisted man's style body in tombac metal with silver trim. The helmet body has excellent form and contour. No extra holes in the helmet body. The exterior metal has age and oxidation discolorations, but no noted dents or dings. Elliptical EM style silver spike base with removable screw style spike for replacement with a white parade plume for parade. Spike mounted to helmet with silver domed screw retainers.

The helmet has Kurassier style M1894 side lugs for the mounting of chinscales. No chinscales or cockades came with the set. The front plate is a large silver star with the center Royal Arms of Saxony device in gold. The interior is very dry but complete (see photos). The liner leather is black dyed with leather tongues. The interior back visor is covered in black leather. MARKED inside helmet bell "57-5" (unique to this regiment) and inside front visor "C. 2 II" for the Saxon Carabinier Regiment, 2nd Squadron II, 2nd Detachment. This helmet DOES NOT take a Parade lion. It only wears a white plume for parade.

We have seen a large number of marked Guard Rider EM helmets, but this is the first marked Guard Carabinier we have encountered. This is a Rare and untouched piece. Waiting for a careful restorer OR to just display as is. A beautiful and rare Saxon Carabinier EM.
